Superconducting (SC) magnets has accompanied the development of accelerators in the last 50 years. Starting from the pioneering work for the SC cyclotron in MSU, Chalk River and Milano, to the large FAIR complex, the progress of SC magnets has accompanied the increase in energy and intensity of the accelerators for heavy ions, too. SC magnets are now used for hadron therapy with heavy ions, with the installation and operation of the SC gantry in the carbon therapy center at HIMAC in Japan. The challenges for future SC magnet expand over three frontiers: I) the high field frontier, to enable higher beam energies; II) the fast-pulsing operation frontier, to enable high intensity beams, with high repetition rate synchrotrons; III) medical application frontier, noticeably in hadron therapy, where simple, reliable, medium field SC magnets with affordable cost can become of common use, expanding the utilization of heavy ion therapy.
